‘Snegurochka Snowgirl’ tells the tale of a street flower-seller in love with her ‘brother’ Buckle Boy, a vendor of buckles. They live on the streets of 4th century Myra (now in Turkey) and together with other street children have been fathered by Soak (Soni Akram), an alcoholic, who also lives on the streets. The Bishop of Myra, Claus, blames Constantine’s father and the emperor Diocletian for poverty and homelessness in the town. Claus brings the street-children gifts for Christmas. He is helped by the ethereal, Snegurochka, who Flower Girl believes has eyes for Buckle Boy. Baba Yagga, a wicked witch, has entered into a pact with Old Nick to eat at least one child a year, every year. Flower Girl is abducted by Baba Yagga, and imprisoned in a tree-house. On discovery of Flower Girl’s abduction Buckle-Boy organises a search party. |
